模糊的视野里，他的双手沾满鲜红，放眼望去，血流成河，尸横遍野。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul4fWVvCcy
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIyNsaDbul
再次睁眼，这回却置身在一个明亮的房间。迷糊中看见镜中人的模样很是奇怪，头上貌似戴着白冠，身后竟还长着一对羽翼，似人非人，却唯独看不清面孔。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnUZ18LRH0
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIvMQeYcML
他被催促着走向阳台，刺眼的阳光洒了下来，底下的人们高声喝采，悦耳的乐声和欢声笑语完美地交融在一块。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPEY50hCmg
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaLJTat5f8
又是一眨眼的功夫，场景再次切换。沙场上尘土飞扬，他手持兵器，以最快的速度拉近和对手之间的距离，随即用尽全力发起突击——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr0l2aflQh
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oxGWs165w
他猛地惊醒，视野却依旧朦胧而模糊，昏暗的房间里，摇曳的烛光为其添上几分神秘。他的大脑此刻很是混乱，尚未能从方才的经历中缓过来，翻身之际却见身旁躺着一红发人。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYKKDfgyS6
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5JgAvRamW
“怎么了？”红发人问道，“又作恶梦了么？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCADXJXjSBe
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpiNt3TofG
红发人伸出手，温柔地抚摸他的脸庞，似乎他也并不抗拒。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7QLONpFaX
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KRzIAAT5u
“好奇怪……”他喃喃道，“为何一切净这般模糊不清？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADUfjJlVV
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrICzkLIjOs
“因为在梦里。梦里都是这样的……”红发人微微笑道，“睡一觉就会好起来的。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwCegNnzZM
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUx67fwAk3
那么晚安了，荷鲁斯。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArPJmKHNq8
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMpPHqzmMj
随着再次闭眼，一道刺眼的光填满了整个空间。他深知接下来会发生什么，到了这里已是他再熟悉不过的环节。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoeyHPipmm
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbsDHxG2Pa
悠悠转醒之际，一道声音再次于耳边响起：“这是属于你们的故事，在这篇故事里，你将遗忘他三次，恨过他三回，爱过他三世。最终——”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEe3a8RqPL

晨曦的第一道曙光透过窗暖暖的洒了进来，却未能抹除男子心里的阴霾。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BkvHhLt5q
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOHOGPAwTc
男子缓缓地睁开双眼，模糊的焦距愈发清晰，印入眼帘的是土黄色的天花板，上头呈现出不平整的颗粒状。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMfqyKkAXV
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17VYGKqCh6
男子从床上坐了起来，睡眼惺忪地环顾四周。男子名叫荷鲁斯，又或者说，他是这么称呼自己的。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI5v4XpXSo
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3MmhKGMva
起因是他忘了自己的名字。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3kG6aEkmp
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJmsgnvvw6
正如每回醒过来后都会忘记梦里的细节一样，他忘记了自己的身世、来历、甚至是名字。而荷鲁斯这个名字则是他为数不多从梦里带出来的东西，也被理所当然地借来一用了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwE4U4zQm
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TGNYDMaeX
作为唯一的线索，他曾试图透过名字寻回身世，可到头来却发现小镇上光叫荷鲁斯的人就有十来个，他不是唯一一个，也绝不会是最后一个。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesDdlZpKAu
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQgOFPAnG1
这名字都已经烂大街到这种程度了吗？在好奇心的驱使下，荷鲁斯翻阅起了名字的起源，而这一查才得知，原来那是源自于赫里尤布里斯传说中天空之神的名字。对于信奉太阳神教的凯米特大陆子民而言，以神命名是件再平常不过的事，人们相信能够因此得到神的祝福和庇佑——虽然这样的说法没有任何根据就是了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8sdflT7Yq
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84ont1TyB
关于那个奇怪的梦，荷鲁斯也不是第一回梦见。虽说醒来后对梦的内容是一点儿都回想不起来，可在做梦的当下却能十分肯定，同样的情节几乎打从有记忆起就已经出现过了无数遍。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JydNKLYiv
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3890asElP5
荷鲁斯并不认为这般离奇的事能用巧合来解释，但同时他也不清楚梦究竟意味着什么？莫非和他失去的记忆有所联系？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnorf9sHhbC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IHuZ8HSOb
带着这样的疑惑，不知不觉间，他已在这片大陆上生活了近三百年。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW61KXP09P
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHf3wPpqzW
趁着天才刚亮，荷鲁斯背上简单的包袱便离开了小镇。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgMbgk2LV5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGNOc9JFZN
三百年间他早已习惯这样的生活方式，每二十年重复同样的行为，告别熟悉的住所，搬到新的环境生活。要说为什么，一切都归功于那几百年来未见丝毫衰老的面容——若他不想重蹈覆辙被人当作怪物看待的话，定期搬家似乎是最好的选择。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03p5q05lDi
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDUhCOE8Pc
就这样，他以流浪驱鬼人自居，三百年来游历于各国之间，降妖除魔的同时也寻求着关于身世的秘密。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6LN9xJNY3
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXidGhFhYR
这回该前往哪里好呢？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fzvHmHl7w
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4snXPGiPDy
荷鲁斯翻开手中泛黄的地图，图纸上布满了密密麻麻的标记，直到目光停留在凯米特大陆的边境小镇。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleHxRWmrI5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAF5pZlixs
就是这里了，米里堪德尔的阿尔诺西。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Oj2u2SPW

*****8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBeSiT5EW3
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqwXcjAEBU
一天一夜的路程，抵达米里堪德尔王国已是夜晚时分。相较于荷鲁斯去过的其他王国，几乎在进城的时候他便觉得奇怪，镇上透着一股紧张的氛围，即便到了就寝时间街上却仍灯火通明，城墙上的守卫也神色戒备地注视着墙外，如临大敌，彷佛墙外有什么可怕的东西正在靠近。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNQnM5wOId
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqA2yPDgmg
“你听说了吗？按这速度，那玩意儿估摸着今晚就能进城……”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63FPq0tGxt
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGybFHzUKDp
“这哪能行？真放他进来没准把城里人全吃了！”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7RIbbzFkn
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TEqW2bMpN
“那你说，上面的人为何不直接将其就地处决？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1w5Ttl2k
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiELumTJ0g
“咱也不知王都的人咋想的……”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAnmxJWVG5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTewMkWHc0I
“哎我听说啊，他们还试着和那怪物交涉！”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxhFPhVypG
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI3FwhZUag
“交涉？疯了吧？和一个怪物交涉，逗我玩儿呢！”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcsRS9t2EC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrOVuf9Q1F
听着路过的人群交头接耳，对话内容显得很是诡异，荷鲁斯起初并未放在心上，可一路步行到旅社的期间，周遭人讨论的竟都是关于墙外怪物的话题。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2xK2EoGZr
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJI6ybn2dz
当所有人都在讨论同样的话题，此时不去在意都变得困难，对荷鲁斯而言亦是如此。于是当再次听见路过的群众谈起这个话题时，荷鲁斯终究按捺不住好奇心，出言向其打听。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDitvofHVnv
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJN2Js2PbV
“冒昧了，敢问那墙外的怪物是……？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtE5fTYRl7
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1432UoUl
荷鲁斯的想法很单纯，面对接下来要生活二十年的地方，早点打探清楚只有利而无弊，再者，若墙外的东西真是魔或鬼，对于身为驱鬼人的荷鲁斯而言就相当于一笔收益。平日里他本就靠接一些降妖除魔的委托换取生活费，如今盘缠所剩无几，也该是时候充实充实了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivjEL7R8S2
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNt9tTj6qo
被拦下的人愣了一下，从头到脚将荷鲁斯仔细打量一番，半晌，才开口道：“啊～你是外地人吧？难怪会问……但只能说你来得还真不是时候。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoIjwYkLul
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mDodXrMVb
“何出此言？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9aS692dCE
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISr8BPkdzA
“你不也听见了么？墙外有个怪物正朝着城镇的方向前进，听人说很可能今晚就会跨过那条线。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqznIwMoF7
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Vy3Ierx1
荷鲁斯微微皱眉：“那条线可是指……？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfvMxep8uA
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiJQHEV4Sb
“警戒线。”另一人凑过来道，“即死者之地。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkAEaDxbDM
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQQeOQLV6
荷鲁斯一怔，死者之地，他自然知道这是什么。在凯米特大陆，人们相信太阳升起的东方是伟大的太阳神拉重生的地方，故而称为生者之地，也是住宅和城邦建造之处。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2y6WaPgL1
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RsOFlkwDn
反之，太阳消失的西方则被称作死者之地，通常位于城邦之外，属于墓地。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG5E9yp4Ir
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiJmQBwvc
而那人口中的警戒线指的自然是墓地，墓地被视作一个城邦最边境的领地，也意味着一旦跨越墓地的边界线，便相当于进到该国的领土。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWbjTkRP5T
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3nRg0nIei
不巧的是，米里堪德尔的地理位置相当特别，正巧位于凯米特大陆的最南方，而阿尔诺西又是米里堪德尔的边境小镇，它的西南方，即是墓地之外，连接的不是别的，正是传言中的边陲之地。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vwzSiw5BS
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7DfdejjZ3
关于边陲之地的传言有很多，听说那里长年笼罩于沙烟和风暴之下，是阳光照不到的地方。还有人说，曾经有探险队试图揭开边陲之地的秘密，但最终都有去无回；更有人说，其实边陲之地的另一端就连接着杜埃，那是亡者最终的归属，所有的亡灵最终都会去往那里。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr5jq8JTSR
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkQjqC6698
“所以才说这听起来很不妙啊……”其中一人说道，“毕竟是从边陲之地现身的东西，总不可能是个活人吧？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHe6VLxwiQ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4OVK3j2f2
“虽说那玩意儿迄今为止也未曾做出任何过激行为……不，与其这么说，光是靠近便足够骇人！天晓得进城后会干出什么事来！”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUkWCkaib3
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ538sqrgjsl
荷鲁斯思考了半晌，后道：“听你们的说法，他可是现身一段时间了？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVf64lHNg
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqdyyJqMvz
一人点了点头：“是啊，大约七天前出现的，从那时起流言便在坊间迅速传了开来。有人说那玩意儿是邪恶的集合体，也有人说那是诅咒，凡是触碰到都将带来毁灭性的灾害。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ720mPBGzXf
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv3OJL6BtV
荷鲁斯问道：“如何这般笃定？没准是个人呢？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwhPup7kk2
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vBjMiLTxd
“人？别说笑了，从那种地方？”其中一人苦笑道：“我可从未见过红色的人。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQjcY3PE0
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgeDK3gq7
“红色的人？”最后一句话引起了荷鲁斯的注意。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz2EEvD2cO
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6rXsSQ2A
“我也是听人说的，那怪物貌似是红色的……像鲜血一样，不祥的红色……”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl9h3y07KA
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqKVYQie2B
另一人打趣道：“您还别说，就这听起来人不人鬼不鬼的东西，王都竟还提出要与其交涉！你说搞不搞笑？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9FqFKQEZv
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5knXCOHqoc
交涉？这么说荷鲁斯方才似乎也从另一组人那里听到过一模一样的说法。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UEicbvBpa
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs7yCI5aC0
其中身材较矮小的男子说道：“是啊，也不知王都的人咋想的，竟妄想能和那怪物交涉。说是什么……哎说什么来着了？”话语间，转头看向一旁的朋友问道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Mr2W1drD
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBTKXIvLuJ
“好像先对其进行了吓阻，告诫若再前进、跨过警戒线，就要将其射杀。但一个来自边陲之地的怪物又怎么听得懂？结果就是依旧以缓慢的速度前进，丝毫没有要停下来的意思。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauW6mzArtS
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRc3GA8nS
王都怎会提出要交涉？这种乍听之下就非常不切实际的行为。带着疑问，荷鲁斯来到了城墙边。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0NVw7QGVj
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIXGWujDRV
不过他的出现很快便引起城门守卫的注意，并遭到了训斥。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrDvd1IOYR
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkc2gvnxX
“喂！做什么呢！”一名守卫冲着荷鲁斯喊道：“这里不安全，闲杂人等请速速离开！”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyxoFQoeLz
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d0aDRJx0n
然而面对对方的告诫，荷鲁斯非但不退却，反而还主动靠向前去：“守卫大人误会了，我是奉王都之命前来协助的驱鬼人，非闲杂人。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gwNzupVRF
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9DK7acz6B
守卫闻言愣了片刻，才反应过来道：“我可从未听说陛下另聘驱鬼人前来协助……”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZQud3466t
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqCFuowmDn
没等他把话说完，下一秒便突然感到掌心一沈，低头一看，不知何时多出一袋盘缠。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHalAe4NiO8
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12tQHQ48Hv
“啊……瞧我这记性，这么说陛下好像是说过会令请高明。敢问驱鬼人大名？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYiaJDHj6d
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9TMhUG7gG
荷鲁斯见状满意地勾起嘴角：“叫我荷鲁斯就行。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q8djYOoFq
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBAZGldZqk
守卫随即换了一副面孔，乐呵呵道：“这样啊，那么还请荷鲁斯大人随我来。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfMckXIip
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQf2BYvstj
在守卫的带领下荷鲁斯来到城墙边上，城墙边部署着成群的弓箭手和待命的祭司。顺着守卫的指示，荷鲁斯看向了城墙外，而这一看总算看清了那怪物的面容，之前的疑惑也在这一刻得到了解答：王都怎会提出交涉？而非选择直接射杀？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJNpPv1kRR
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAUcoCYH7W
只因这个人人喊打的怪物有着近乎人型的外观。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWKO0eHn98
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL191dxmkdA
这么说吧，眼前的家伙除了那一头连沙烟都遮蔽不住的鲜艳红发，其余看上去根本与常人无异。不巧的是，在凯米特大陆，红色被视作禁忌的颜色，是不祥且预示着灾害的，这也解释了为何人们在看到的当下会下意识将其认定为怪物。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TMU7DH8vy
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEe7Ig28op
不过是人是鬼到现在还说不准，也不排除鬼故意化作人型进行误导的可能性。眼下只剩下一种办法了……眼看那怪物就要跨过警戒线，城墙上的弓箭手蓄势待发，荷鲁斯默默在心底做了决定——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9iL3IkBfr
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQxbVXno9v
“让我去会会他。”荷鲁斯道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGH7cLlz3x
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aR4hQuAuH
“哎？什么？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQCTqjSWe
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEn1SwAk2o
没等守卫反应，荷鲁斯便当着他的面从几米高的墙上一跃而下。守卫愣了半晌才惊觉过来，连忙俯在墙边往下探去，脑海中还回荡着荷鲁斯临走前说的话：“若能避免杀戮那自然最好，但若真有铲除的必要也用不着你们出手，我自会解决。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRQhfcJL4K
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n2LegO9J3
落地的瞬间，荷鲁斯竟毫发无伤，墙上的目光在这一刻都齐刷刷地聚焦在他身上。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPWKtBPI8q
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEYxDfskaC
“这家伙……真的是人吗？”守卫喃喃道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMXLO5Oxn4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBxepkTry
关于这个问题，荷鲁斯也设想过不止一次。毕竟是活了三百年都不曾改变过外貌的人，说是人也实在显得过于牵强。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOKsf0L81V
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1vTGwQ0ES
而你……又是人吗？荷鲁斯拔出腰间上的剑，在地上拖出一道长长的划痕，一步、一步缓缓地走到那不祥之物的面前。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgYOP1xhIf
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6COd6dgH
“不要再前进了，否则他们会杀了你。”荷鲁斯口吻冰冷道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiZLK2VzAa
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruKvO9dtW
在荷鲁斯的意料之内，不祥之物并未对这番话做出任何回应，仍旧一意孤行地前进。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXQtcZtxWJ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSxD31XE4
荷鲁斯见劝说无果，将剑横在怪物的面前，谁成想怪物竟突然停下，毫无预警的，不只墙上的守卫震惊了，就是荷鲁斯本人都未曾预料到。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaxnkKHs9G
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWkaPSxXew
那一头杂乱的红发遮住了他的面容，荷鲁斯甚至无法看清对方的五官。他以剑指向怪物的下颚，将他的头缓缓地抬起，四目相接之际，所处的世界彷佛再容不得任何声音，围绕着他们的除了席卷的沙烟便再无其他。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtwsUKrHF7
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUV19dCdzn
那是一双漆黑而混浊的眸子，幽黑如墨，彷佛透不进一丝光。他的皮肤干裂，浑身上下无一处完好，布满或深或浅的伤。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BbqDEDNGr

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4RAYUYCw
荷鲁斯手里的剑也是第一次因犹豫而松动，就在此时，眼前的怪物再次开口说话了，但不同于刚才，这回荷鲁斯清楚地听见了，那自沙哑的喉间吐出的、凄凉的话语——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gqWeaTDL

鸟啭划破长空，早晨的清风透过半掩的窗悄悄探了进来。迷糊间他悠悠转醒，映入眼帘的是土黄色的天花板，然而这回却没了突起的颗粒。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjKhxBfLrp
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWzuJzjBmJ
我是什么时候睡着的……？荷鲁斯边想边从躺椅上坐起，然而当他看见床上的东西后，前一天晚上的记忆顿时涌入大脑，荷鲁斯这才猛地想起，自己竟把那不祥之物给带回来了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPSLHnsI6
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmTwKZgeco
思绪回到昨夜，那城外的不祥之物说完话后便倒在了地上，见状，荷鲁斯将其一把扛起，无视众人惧怕的目光径直就给带回城里。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJMnr6DJt5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMWUmScAbC
“大、大侠……这不、不好吧……？”看门的守卫显得抗拒，却又不敢接近，因为红色象征着诅咒，碰到没准就完了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYX7YGN2Gc
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5OPjezFH
而后，荷鲁斯每前进一步，围观的人群就下意识往后退去一步，直到荷鲁斯停下脚步，人们心里才不由得咯噔了一下。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDpJPUv5K
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOACQcjUhba
“怎么回事？为何突然停下？”人群里传来窸窸窣窣的耳语。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrdaN2HS25
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9PWAeAw9I
荷鲁斯环顾四周，目光所到之处尽是畏惧的面孔，最终他锁定在一个目标身上——对方身穿白袍，手持法杖，袍子上的图纹充分解释了他作为王宫祭司的身份。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGX7wvYocj
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvveWtiQurn
“能治么？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgOhtFNkTM

“什、什么？”祭司愣愣道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLIB9cAKRO

“我问你能治么？他的伤。”语毕，蹲下身子，将肩上的家伙轻轻放在地上。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aKgVxovqg

“治他……吗？”祭司怯懦地走向前，但还是在看见那头鲜艳的红发后退缩了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzxnKrYkuV

“不……治不得、这治不得……”说罢，又想退回人群中。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jbRH8SvS

祭司结结巴巴道：“红色的……碰了可是会死……”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyNGRGwXOT

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4rcq0hO8u
是红色所以会带来诅咒、也因为是红色所以不配得到救治……开什么玩笑……就因为这种毫无根据的理由，人类什么的……果然……8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH8vkaCFqx
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY70rsJHlgd
祭司面露难色，而荷鲁斯的表情也早已难看到了极点，僵持之际，一道浑厚的男声打破了僵局：“你就按他说的治吧。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWq4juTz88
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0KDfvSKS
众人纷纷将目光投向声音的来源，包含荷鲁斯在内，只见一名身穿黑斗篷的男子从人群中站了出来，跟在他身边的同时还有数名侍从。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbEXMU70o4

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew7gouJdDB
男子在众人的注视下摘掉斗篷，斗篷之下是一副中年人的面孔，他的面容硬朗，气宇非凡，即便荷鲁斯迄今为止都未曾见过这张脸，但至此，也大致猜到来者的身份。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg9aLe3904
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblcWxmYUst
“陛下……！”祭司的一声惊呼伴随发自本能的下跪正式揭示了男子的身份。而围观的群众直到此时才逐一反应过来，纷纷朝着男子下跪。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloT7kpSMXq
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINidOIOVvN
“陛下，您怎么还亲临现场呢？多不安全。”祭司全程低着头，不敢与国王直接对视。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwmTOyCAso
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7KknaVRSe
“免礼。”国王道，捋着长胡子，转而将视线重新移回到那红发人身上：“流言中的不详之物……说的就是他吗。”最后这句话轻得彷佛是说给自己听的，但却还是被一旁的荷鲁斯灵敏地捕捉到了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbGVjol1c0
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oIhfeHXKp
荷鲁斯从国王的眼底读到和自己相同的情绪，那便是困惑。那被称作不详之物的存在无论从哪个角度看都仅仅是个凡胎。真要说他和其他人的不同之处，莫过于是一个快死了的凡胎。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJcQ4xafIc
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S3Pk0tp2g
既是人便不得任意滥杀，这是国王的原则，也是在众多双眼睛的见证下判出的裁决。他很清楚，身为明君，他所做的每一个决策都被人看在眼里，他大可直接将其就地处决，从此便再无后顾之忧。可在场的人们又会如何说他？如何夸张地放大、检视他的行为，并宣扬到邻里之间？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrOTrkbyN
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ0LieAC4l
他是不愿滥杀无辜，却也始终无法说服自己接受那抹刺眼的腥红。他无法想像将象征着诅咒的东西带回宫里，即便他愿意，也未必扛得住来自其他王宫贵族的压力。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoVpvnrRL3
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxnmjm4ncK
可若不带回宫里又该让谁来监管？在尚未确定其身分和可能带来的威胁之前，总不能就这般放任他在城里逍遥……8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXB4gnd9gJ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt7cMgWU94
然而就在国王为此懊恼之际，荷鲁斯出现了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcNWaOSTeC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvMWUffEsB
是啊，如果是眼前的驱鬼人……或许能帮上他一把。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsLsYAN7xi
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThngkfuV3D
于是当国王听见荷鲁斯的那一声“治还是不治”，他终于选择从人群中站出来——“你就按他说的，治吧。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEXdRo6IjR

随着回忆告段落，荷鲁斯径直来到河边洗脸。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWQmqwQZf2
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBost4kSKp
记得昨天晚上他和国王做了个交易，交易的内容大概是祭司会负责救治工作，事后那“不详之物”也能如荷鲁斯所愿让他带走，不过前提是荷鲁斯必须配合王宫负责监管工作，且不得回避、拒绝人员走访。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8meIWtKuPu
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5cfLJgnBM
而监管的场所就被定在荷鲁斯目前的住所——米里勘德尔的边境小镇阿尔诺西，一个看似平凡，坐落于街角的小木屋——当然，地点是荷鲁斯提出的，他只想安安稳稳地在阿尔诺西度过接下来的二十年，并不愿进入王都受到宫条的束缚。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4lXUuAINf
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogHwVWNb3
殊不知，这也正合国王的意，于是双方一拍即合。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrfYCKAHzu
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzolG5HEs5
至于荷鲁斯为何坚持救人，还一意孤行把对方带在身边，只有他自己清楚。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcEj7QprlA

那是一双漆黑而混浊的眸子，眼里透不进一丝光。发白的唇瓣一开一合，却不明其意。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWtxyXJ2zQ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthl0iJFECM
荷鲁斯手里的剑也是第一次因犹豫而松动，但就在此时，眼前的怪物再次开口说话了——8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMyft4QpdU
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4HblqCXc0
——帮……帮我。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnr7vUC0BC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKKKtRCn36
荷鲁斯看见了，在不详之物倒下之前，从那犹如死水的眸光中流下的眼泪。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1CoN2ubyI
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUke2VHMHYU

回到小屋，荷鲁斯推开沉重的木门，下意识向床的方向查看，却发现床上的人不知曾几何时竟已起身，神情呆滞地坐在床的中央。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc7jPZMdO4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9AdpAKUId
阳光照进屋里，那抹红也因此变得比昨晚更艳丽。荷鲁斯的喉咙不由得滚动了一下，鲜艳的红彷佛时刻提醒着危险，却又让人难以将视线移开。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9J8gXqFMs
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar9NV6GY71
这么说，昨晚的自己竟然在和这家伙共处一室的情况下，毫无防备地睡着了……该说他荷鲁斯是天真呢还是过于自负？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqz5QvSz8i
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniGBwZouYN
床上的不详之物也像是察觉到荷鲁斯的视线，缓缓地抬起头，失了焦距的眼，茫然地眨了眨，二人四目相接，像极了当晚的场景，可不同的是这回荷鲁斯少了几分警惕。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEna5E9AND
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhNJpzhJzD
荷鲁斯故作轻松地走向前去，在床头停了下来：“身体……怎么样了？”可几乎是在说出这句话的时候荷鲁斯就后悔了，对方只是愣愣地盯着他看，目光中依旧没有丝毫情绪，活像个白瓷娃娃。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGp7YUUT5z
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2jxzqpUzK
荷鲁斯略显尴尬地搔了搔头，似乎这样的回应也早在意料之内。他接着便转头回到厨房，用刚才在市集买来的食材做早餐。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ou3VuCpx
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUSOpOKP0A
虽说人在厅堂可心却在床上，准确地说是床上的家伙。做饭期间荷鲁斯时不时会回过头去查看红发人的情况，但那家伙多半不是在发呆就是在发呆的路上，差别只在于是盯着天花板或窗外。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fg4RPAGoD
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGUiQMI9I5
捣鼓了半天，荷鲁斯才逐一将饭菜端上桌，虽说是饭菜吧，盘中的玩意儿看上去貌似和食物这个说法相差甚远。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0zsTsyQsX
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOaVlrMBFA
真要说，这三百年来唯一没有随着时间长进的莫过于就是荷鲁斯的厨艺。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1jxhUAiVp
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ul5HycD1N
“吃饭了。”荷鲁斯道，盛起最后一盘菜，回过头的时候发现对方已站在桌边，双目直勾勾盯着盘里的食物。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUM03Y7PuB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSeRbuYqL
这家伙走路都没声的吗……荷鲁斯心想道，目光来到对方那一双赤脚上。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x2yLkA9B9
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6A91ZbRl8
饭桌上，红发人面对一桌饭菜不为所动。荷鲁斯曾多番尝试和他沟通，但回应他的终究是沉默。事到如今荷鲁斯甚至想过对方或许是哑巴，就连最初在边陲之地的那一声“帮帮我”，都极可能是他的错觉。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHZ7CVdJEO
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUU8DckJLW
“怎么？不饿吗？”荷鲁斯问道，“别看它们长得一副生人勿近的模样，其实味道还是挺不错的。”说罢，叉起盘里的一块红萝卜：“就比如这个，刚从早市买回来的，可新鲜了。”语毕，顺势将萝卜送往嘴里。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGotcIWZ4y
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kk67P2aYB
亏荷鲁斯能这般大言不惭，与其说是红萝卜，倒不如叫黑萝卜，就算本来是新鲜的食材，那也是上辈子下锅前的事。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3huT8CoKC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWuA2JS3ym
“萝……卜。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatkScuT3aa
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1O9b2Btw
荷鲁斯一怔，递到嘴边的萝卜落入了盘中。他缓缓抬头向声音的方向看去，只见坐在对面的红发人正用叉子一遍一遍捣弄着盘里的食物，像个孩子牙牙学语般，喃喃地重复着那两个字：“萝……卜。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVXeQymF5T
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKSyKLBHUi
原来不是哑巴吗？荷鲁斯心道。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCaFkONcN0
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor4xYjPCJU
难道是语言不相通？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9nQpFdeCK
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oOvTnnGfu
“嗯，这是萝卜没错……”看着盘里焦黑的萝卜，荷鲁斯略显心虚道。只能说此刻的萝卜已然看不出其生前的面貌。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mu0O4tLvz
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWNiCGbbO
红发人效法着荷鲁斯，试探性地用叉子戳了戳盘里的萝卜，就是握叉子的姿势都略显生疏。这不禁让荷鲁斯感到奇怪，不成这家伙是头一次使用叉子？8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5tzbfVCez
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRqiXodTT4
视线不自觉来到那头火红的长发上，其实打从见到的第一眼，荷鲁斯就想过此人可能是异域者。不同于在凯米特大陆土生土长的塞尔罗姆人和含米列特人，异域者是对于非原住民的统称，没有人知道他们从何而来，有人说神在创造凯米特大陆的时候也创造了其他大陆，异域者大概率来自其他大陆。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqtrdmv23
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlDEokKpBL
但没有人能确定所谓其他大陆是否真实存在，目前能用来区分凯米特子民和异域者的方式就只有肤色和发色。异域者通常拥有较浅的肤色和发色，不过像红发人这样鲜艳的红，荷鲁斯还是头一次见。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L5suKAUpS
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvvkn5mFe5
既是异域者，那么拥有不一样的文化习惯也说得过去吧？或许在他们的文化里并不使用餐具。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8wJXRbPNj
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgwlspUMkr
“先这样……然后插下去。”荷鲁斯当着红发人的面亲自示范，先是用叉子插向萝卜，再送往嘴里。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC0OdMmno9
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22LBr8C2Jk
红发人似懂非懂，依样造做，结局是萝卜掉了，掉在了地上。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Er4L4d92
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A2qOZYvdM
二人面面相觑，盯着掉在地上的萝卜约莫半晌，荷鲁斯最终还是决定亲自上手。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW3vpZRQ6H
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWfMusAhi0
“张嘴。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxh9kLR56k
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb9u7QcpHX
红发人歪过头，面对递到眼前的食物感到不解，似乎并未看穿荷鲁斯的意图。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF20O1lejg5
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PUo5QXoP2
“我让你吃了。”说完又将食物递近了几分，“啊——”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqg7lan8vZ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxx6OEkdii
“啊——”红发人照学，这下食物是进嘴里了，但很快又被吐了出来。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nvKT9RK2C
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIzSt9pxps
这萝卜虽说丑是丑了点，但味道也不至于糟糕到难以下咽的地步吧？荷鲁斯随即抱持着实验的心态，分别投喂了甜瓜和鹌鹑，岂料这回倒是吃进去了，看来对于萝卜只是单纯的讨厌。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwl5es0eU9
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCfzYAMgq1
“没成想你这家伙还挺挑食。”说话间，荷鲁斯的嘴角不自觉上扬。值得庆幸的是，能够进食人类的食物说明眼前的家伙不是魔，既不是魔便没有铲除的必要。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5kCbfvAmu
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWT930Mu99
“一会儿你就安分待在家里不要乱跑，我得出一趟门，预计傍晚才回来。知道了吗？”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NLFfnGT3K
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wklu1GmZJ
闻言，红发人歪过头，嘴里还叼着啃一半的烤鹌鹑。见此，荷鲁斯不由得叹了口气：“唉……和你说这么多干嘛呢，你又听不懂。反正我去去就回。”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljBqpptiSH
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGXwxI0BnA
说罢，收拾桌面上的食物，接着便出门了。但荷鲁斯不知道的是，那双黑色的眸子自从他离开后便没再从闭合的门板上移开过。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bfgJCc77r
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo9exFFusc
为了承担双倍的伙食费，荷鲁斯不得不打起零工。他再次以驱鬼人的身份接起金乌榜上的委托。这次的委托内容是清除后山南面的双头蛇，对于荷鲁斯，两三个时辰便能完成。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJHjiLAXY8
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hw02cnhfF
执行委托任务的期间，荷鲁斯不禁回想在边陲之地和红发人初遇的情景，真要说来，选择把对方带回来其实还有个出于私心的理由，那便是关于自己身世的谜团。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M8rtCCHg0
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuHAKnXdUw
几乎从有记忆以来，每晚荷鲁斯都会重复作着同样的梦，梦的内容他已经记不清了，梦醒后遗忘已成常态，他曾多番试图回忆却都无济于事。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5eUm3IzVM
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQXrxtTP2s
可几乎是在城墙外见到红发人的第一眼，荷鲁斯便产生了一种强烈的感觉，虽仅有一瞬，但那道身影确实短暂地和梦中的人影重合了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAX1o3bDJC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNdst1fJfT

黄昏时分。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9hFJ3Uxwu
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMussPTpnXk
随着最后一条蛇被装入袋中，委托任务也告了段落。荷鲁斯拖着沈甸甸的麻布袋前往实习殿兑换报酬，数着囊中的德本铜心中甚是欢喜。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRerH3NBCRL
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurixEr1vmO
踩在被夕阳映红的街道，微风拂面，空气中隐约飘着花香，道路两侧的商家收拾着摊贩，其中就有一个装满鲜花的小推车。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiId1LVzVlh
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDztUDsr51B
荷鲁斯这才意识到昨日落脚过于仓促，加上抵达城镇已是夜晚时分，截至目前为止都未能好好欣赏一番镇上的景色。此时放慢脚步环顾周遭的一切，还反倒形成了一种惬意美。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ilSxp1jC1
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolTxmS8jsJ
殊不知，得来不易的宁静并没有维持太久，荷鲁斯的注意力很快便被一阵吵杂声吸引了过去。他闻声而去，发现那吵杂声竟传自一条巷弄。过路的行人选择避而远之，显然不愿卷入其中。除了杂声还依稀可闻窸窸窣窣的交谈声，可当荷鲁斯听清里头的内容后，顿时产生一股不祥的预感。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFQz6w3UBO

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkoike6mX
荷鲁斯顿感不妙，本能驱使下来到巷弄中，只见三五孩子成群围作一团，对着包围在中心的东西恶言相向、拳打脚踢。定睛一看，那东西还貌似是个人。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2K4ToJRCr

“来人了！快撤！”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sucz5qTD8

孩子们见状拔腿就跑，不一会儿便全没了影。这一刻荷鲁斯也总算看清那人的脸，虽说早猜到会是他，可当那张破碎的面容与预期中的脸重合到一处时，心还是不免凉了半截。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRGx72GQ0
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY0wU8T594
“萝……卜。”红发人用着颤抖的声音虚弱道，脸上、手上、腿上紫一块青一块，全身上下无一处完肤，有被打被踢的，还有被石头砸的。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pvBuk6pwv

打量着房间的同时，红发人也很快注意到睡在长椅上的男子。片段的记忆顿时涌入脑海，是啊，他想起来了……就是这个男人把自己从边陲之地带回来的。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9xcmfY272
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiXxDqTFpT
望着天边蓝盈盈的月光，下一秒，红发人鬼使神差地来到户外。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKGHubuLrI
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQC8Z5EUGK
夜阑人静，只有沙沙的晚风还醒着。乘着朦胧月色，红发人独自来到河边净身。夜晚的河水很冰凉，却也让红发人清醒了不少。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KbKEvMz8A
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6HB5hhqk5
与此同时，屋内的荷鲁斯冥冥之中预感到什么，几乎在醒过来的当下便意识到人不见了。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF7VbgrW3z

荷鲁斯连忙出门寻人，然而没走几步，远远地就看见沐浴在月光之下的红发人。他先是一愣，随即才反应过来，这家伙总是一副不谙世事的模样，甚至都能把他荷鲁斯和萝卜弄混，没准下一秒就能把自己溺死。情急之下，荷鲁斯几乎想都没想，径直下水打算捞人。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP7PH1Jrf4
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa5drU11TR
水位大约没过腰际，随着两者之间的距离拉近，红发人也注意到了荷鲁斯的存在。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pwlb4Q7ON

“不是和你说了别乱跑，大半夜的你……”荷鲁斯刚开口，然而到了嘴边的话却在瞬间憋了回去。8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRdo7BWGXE
